frame was also constructed around the door and window at
the time of construction.
In HO scale, a 2’-wide window is almost exactly 1/4”, while
3/8” is just slightly less than 3’, and 1/2” is slightly less than 4’.
The slight discrepancies are of no real concern because all the
windows and doors will be built in the same jig, and thus will
be the same size. No one will ever know that the windows and
doors are not the exact size.
I purchased all of my brass in 0.064” thickness from K & S. The
only size they did not have readily available was 3/8”, which
I purchased from Custom Shapes. I purchased brass in 1/4”,
3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, and 2” widths. The 3/4” width translates
3. This is my 1/2” jig for making 4’ windows or doors. I
can build up to seven windows or doors at a time with
this jig.
